Device Types
Lighting
Automating your lighting is amazing. Turning on outside lights based on sunrise and sunset. Adjusting the white temperature depending on time of day. Adding a splash of color for holidays.
Cameras
Knowing when someone is on your property is important. Safety for you and your family is your highest priority. It's also good to know when a package has been delivered, or who's at the door.
Locks
A quick glance at your phone lets you know that your doors are locked and your garage is closed. This is so much more convenient than turning the car around to return home, or getting out of a warm bed!
Voice Assistants
Using voice commands to control your smart home makes life easier. You don't have to get your phone, open an app, and make your change. And you don't have to walk across the room to press a light switch.
